Reason for West Brom v Chelsea Bets
Chelsea could be crowned Premier League champions on Friday night, provided they get a win against rivals West Bromwich Albion. It would be their second title in three years, and Antonio Conte’s first in his debut season in England.
They head to the Hawthorns off the back of a clinical 3-0 win over a Middlesbrough side battling for their lives. Whilst the result condemned Boro to relegation, it edged the London club ever nearer to glory. Conte praised the performance and admitted to feeling more “relaxed”, but he’ll still be keen to wrap up the title as soon as possible.
The Baggies stand in their way – a side that’s only lost once in their last five encounters with the Blues at home. Nevertheless, their season has gone wayward in recent weeks, allowing nearest rivals Everton to pull away. Tony Pulis’ side are now on a six-game winless run – a stretch dating back to their impressive win over Arsenal in March.
Taking into account both side’s form, and the obvious motivation for Chelsea, it’s hard to look past an away win. You can back it at 7/20 with 888sport. The Midlands club have managed to score in just one of their last six league games, and they might struggle against the league’s second best defence. Back the Blues to win to nil at 13/5 with William Hill.
Nevertheless, it is the Baggies’ last match at the Hawthorns this season, and they won’t want to end on a low note after what’s been a highly successful season. Don’t expect Chelsea to cruise to victory, so backing a 0-1 away win could be fruitful at 11/2 with Bet365.
